Note, you really should post this to the windowsxp.photos newsgroup.

Nonetheless, many digital cameras use a proprietary format for their raw
images. When that is the case, the camera manufacturer usually includes the
necessary software to display the raw images. Check the documentation and
software package that came with your computer. That would explain why you
are unable to display raw image file thumbs in the My Pictures folder, it
may not be able to read the format.
